Don Michael Mitchell (17 March 1943 – 8 December 2013) guest starred in four episodes of I Dream of Jeannie, all in minor roles as an Air Force enlisted man, a SSGT, three as a desk sergeant, in the episodes "Where'd You Go-Go?" and "My Master, the Magician" in Season 1 and the Season 2 premiere episode "Happy Anniversary", then finally as a stage manager for a special base opera concert where Tony, now empowered with a dynamic operatic voice similar to that of Enrico Caruso by Jeannie, was to sing in "My Master, the Great Caruso" also in Season 2.

Don is perhaps best known for acting alongside Raymond Burr as part of the main cast of the NBC television series Ironside (1967-1975). He played the role of Mark Sanger, and reprised the role in the made-for-TV "reunion" film in 1993 – his last TV appearance.
